After a quiet opening to the year, February gets the ball rolling a little more with some more artbooks to keep an eye out for. Check out a list of new titles to fill your shelves!
3rd - Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga - Black Panther: The Art of the Movie
Titan Books is nearing the end of their run of Marvel Studios artbook reprints and this time highlights the first Black Panther movie. Filled with concept art for the characters, world of Wakanda, the technology, keyframes, and more, this is the perfect companion to the movie and is being made available again for those that didn't get the Marvel published original.
These books are excellent, coming slightly smaller in size, but with improvements to the paper quality, binding, and print finish, making them the best way to view the art inside. You can read my review of Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga - Thor Ragnarok - The Art of the Movie with comparisons to the original here.

3rd - The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte
After 4 years without an artbook for a live-action Star Wars project, Abrams Books returns with a look at the short lived series The Acolyte. For fans that wanted more from Osha, Mae, and The Stranger, The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte will give them a look at the early and unused designs for the characters and High Republic setting. It also comes with a wealth of insights from the creators and artists too, making this another superb artbook in the series.
You can read my early review of the book to find out why this is worth adding to your shelf here - Book Review.
10th - The Art of Hoppers
Continuing their long running partnership with Pixar, publisher Chronicle Books is back with a look at the animal world in The Art of Hoppers. Showcasing more of the talent of the studio, fans and collectors will get to see the early concepts of the characters, locations, moments of the upcoming movie.
These books are always filled with wonderful art and do a great job at sharing unused designs, as well as crediting the artists on each page too, something that's always appreciated!

This new edition includes additional interviews with those that helped make the series special, including Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, and Bob Gale.

17th -Â The Art of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
Kojima Productions is back with another Death Stranding artbook, teaming again with publisher Titan Books to give players a look at the concept art behind the strange world the team created. The game was a critical hit, so it's very likely that The Art of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will be on the radar for many people.
The first book, The Art of Death Stranding, was filled with incredible concepts and designs, so I'm expecting more great stuff from the art team. You can see a preview of that first book below;
